 Dancers, Quitters, and Garden Gnomes

Review: Dancers, Quitters, and Garden Gnomes - Emily Evans - November 2016

One of my favorite YA authors that each story, I have enjoyed as they have been quite cutesy and end in a HEA is Emily Evans. In Dancers, Quitters, and Garden Gnomes we meet Thayer and Alyssa. Our story starts with Thayer at a dance school competition for choreographers and dancers where Alyssa is waiting for her dancing picks. Here she meets Thayer who decides to "slum" it and picks Alyssa to go on a date with as for the first time - he is with someone who wants to spend time with him and not for his family name or money. The next week starts and Thayer ends up ghosting Alyssa which is a shame as she thought they connected. Alyssa starts her new school and sees Thayer and realizes that he is another rich jerk and the reason he is ghosting Alyssa is that he thinks she is poor which is far from the truth, she just doesn't believe in flouncing her wealth. When Thayer realizes who Alyssa is and discovers that he might have missed his chance with an actual "good girl" who wanted him for him and that by acting the way he did, he is just like his father - someone who he didn't want to grow up to be. Can he win Alyssa's heart back? The second storyline which is where the Garden Gnomes come in is that Alyssa's Grandmother loves Garden Gnomes and someone is stealing them-- when it was discovered, I have to admit that it did make me go Awh and tickled my heartstrings.  If you are in the mood for a clean YA romance with dancing, high school hijinks, and garden gnomes - then check out this read by Emily Evans, it also helps that the cover is TDF.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
